Each time I post on my Facebook account, a certain alert message comes up with friends except restricted but I have no restricted list on the left-hand side of the screen where lists appear, so i dont understand this again.
We have all had to acceptFacebookfriend requests from people wed rather not share intimate details of our day-to-day lives with, whether thats your boss, a slightly creepy acquaintance, or even your mom.
Did you know you could set up a restricted list on Facebook that prevents list members from seeing content you deliberately make public?
We had a look at how to create and manage such a list so that you can stay Facebook friends with someonewithoutletting them see every single little activity you get up to.
Head to the Facebook profile page of the person you want to add to your restricted list. Click on the Friends drop-down box that appears at the bottom right of their cover photo. Select the option Add to another list.
Now, click on the Restricted setting that appears on the next menu. This should enbolden the text and put a check mark next to it.
Now, when you next post content, you can decided whether you want it to be public content or just for the eyes of your Facebook friends.
To change this privacy setting as you post, click on the drop-down box at the bottom of your pending post and select the option that suits your content.
If you select Friends, the people on your restricted list will not see the post. If you choose Public, they will.
This is a good method of making sure certain people only see posts youre willing to make public.
I did have a restricted list age ago but now I cannot find it.
If you cannot find the restricted list on your Facebook account, relax as we will help you out here. The Facebook restricted Friends Lists is in your Blocking Settings. Putting someone on the Restricted list means that youre still friends, but that you only share your posts with them when you choose Public as the audience, or when you tag them in the post.
Did you just meet a friend you thought was an angel, and then you add your new friend to your Facebook friends list and now youre regretting it because he floods your timeline with annoying updates, not too helpful posts and even make discriminating comments on your posts and above all, youre now thinking twice about every photo upload and every update you post, but still unfriending him isnt an option. Then you ponder on what to do? Well you are lucky to stumble upon this post today as we will put you through how you can easily restrict your friends access to your posts
Here are the steps that you currently need to find it. Note, however, that Facebook frequently changes its UI, so these steps may become outdated at some point in the future.
[Kindly let us know in the comment section if anything stops working].
- Go to the lock icon in the upper-right corner, and clickSee More Settings:
- Click on theBlockingtab on the left, then clickEdit Listin theRestricted Listsection at the top:
You will then see a popup dialog with everyone on your Restricted List. You can also add and remove people from the list through this dialog.
Alternatively:
Had this problem with my girlfriend, we couldnt figure this out. For us in July this is how I solved it. [FB changes their UI so often, its difficult to post a lasting fix, but here goes] .
- On your friends page whose posts you cant see, have them logged in
- Have them go to your profile page
- Click your Friends button
- Select Add to another list
- See if the Restricted list is selected for some reason. If so, then click it again to hopefully take you off, Restricted List.
